Footnote to the preceding, noted without comment

From CNN, April 29.

Guerrilla attacks broke out in at least three neighborhoods of Fallujah that had been relatively quiet during the past three days. And the U.S. response intensified: when a Marine was wounded, warplanes dropped 10 laser-guided bombs - most of them 500-pound bombs but at least one 1,000 pound - on buildings that were the source of guerrilla fire, Lt. Col. Brennan Byrne said.

At least twice, AC-130 gunships opened up on guerrilla positions with their heavy cannons.

Throughout the day, the sound of each battle was heard - the rattle of gunfire and the thud of mortars - then came the noise that often marked Marine strikes to put an end to the fight: heavy explosions, raising flames and palls of smoke.

In the same article, Secretary of War Donald Rumsfeld was quoted as saying the violence in Fallujah is caused by "terrorists and regime elements."
